Figure 5. Effect of Down-regulation of Endogenous TRPM2 on the Migration of the SCC9 Cells.

Figure 5

(A) Real-time PCR revealed that TRPM2 mRNA in group shRNATRPM2 was significantly decreased compared with that of the control and sham groups. TRPM2 mRNA levels were decreased by about 65.6% in SCC9 cells, with no significant difference of TRPM2 mRNA levels found between control and shRNAVec group (p > 0.05, n = 3). (B) Western blotting revealed transfection of cells with TRPM2 shRNA for 48 hours significantly suppressed endogenous TRPM2 protein expression in SCC9 cells, with no significant difference between control and shRNAVec group (n = 3). (C) Transwell assay showed the migrated and stained cells at 24 hours after being transfected with or without shRNATRPM2 plasmid. (D) Quantitative results for the transmembrane ability of each group of cells (n = 3). **p < 0.01 represents cell migration in shRNATRPM2 transfected group compared with the shRNAVec blank group at 24 h transfection.
